The main check-in restaurant and bar building is beautiful, cozy and modern. However, the actual cabins where the rooms are located are rather outdated and a bit underwhelming for the price, especially compared to the renovated building. Sound insulation is not great, you can acutely hear when someone is walking up the stairs and anything else. The furniture, walls, carpet and amenities inside the room desperately need a refresh. Overall, on the restaurant and hotel staff side, as well as the area, it was a great experience. However, the actual stay lack of assigned parking and signage throughout the property is underwhelming.
